I guess we’re just creating more Boomers now. Boomers 2: Illiterate Boogaloo

The classic sloppy reporting tactic of “dozens”. Somewhere between 1.5 and 33.3 dozen I guess?

I’ve been pretty excited about what I’ve been seeing from Affinity. You’re right, they’re not there yet. But they’re closer than anyone. They need more money and time and they will hopefully get there.

I want to point out, because I see this chart or something like it a lot. Adobe has an absolute monopoly in the professional design space. None of these programs can remotely come close to the creative suite if you’re doing more than tinkering. If you’re making memes or doing some personal image manipulation, you can get by with GIMP or something. If you’re creating professional art or creating files for print or publication, you need Adobe. It’s scary that one corporation holds so much sway over an entire industry but they definitely do.

Tell me more about these tittybux…

Some of these articles don’t seem to get it. Another Trump term potentially removes all rights for many of us. Trans people won’t have to worry about healthcare, bigotry, bathrooms, or anything else that they’re facing. They will have to hide who they are or risk being rounded up or killed. It will be open season on women, liberals, feminists, atheists, satanists, muslims, people with dark skin or foreign sounding names. Rights don’t matter in a dictatorship. There’s only fighting or submitting.

Estimated $50b in wage theft against workers per year I’m thinking white collar isn’t being included.

You might check out Project Bluefin if you haven’t already. I’m only a few days in but I’m really enjoying it. Having Docker and Podman baked in is really nice.

Nah, I’d prefer someone with a bigger dick.

(I am totally against our penal system being okay with rape as basically capital punishment. For the record. Just making a joke here)

Too fucking late. I’ve already installed Bluefin on two machines and Bazzite on my gaming machine. I’m not going back.

Then this must be embarrassing for y’all. Do we have gross processed cheese? Yeah, we do. Do we also make fantastic cheese? Yeah, we make a lot of it. Do we make shit beer? Absolutely. Do we also make some of the best beers in the world? Yeah, we make a fuckton of great beer. I get stereotypes and most of them are funny. The Brits conquering the world for spices and then using none of it in their food. Yeah, there is some truth to that but I do know that you can get some amazing food in the UK. Curry shops are super popular because the lack of spice thing isn’t really true for all. Do you understand the same thing about the US or is your ire carrying past reality?

To that I say, you must not have heard of Wisconsin.

I’m not sure it’s going to be that. That was the model for the last wave of tech advancement layoffs and job replacements. This one is going to be so much dumber.

It’s no secret that most companies are stagnant or losing money right now across the board. For many reasons, disposable income is way down, COVID mentality change (people decided they wanted to live instead of just consume), and products have just been getting worse. So, CEOs are using AI to replace jobs that AI cannot yet replace. It immediately makes their bottom line look better for investors while doing nothing useful. This will bite them in the ass soon but they’ll say AI was oversold and it’s not their fault. Meanwhile, they look like the nothing they’re doing to improve their company is working and will survive another day.

Great reference. Also, you can do gifs in Lemmy. Not sure if everyone knows that or not.

Out of Sight being the best one.

Do they seriously think an extremely liberal, gay as hell power bottom cannot out-fart almost anyone on the planet?

These were all good. This one made me laugh.

You want some more cool shit, get a manual regulator. You can get a lot more out of your typical gas grill. It will likely come at the expense of longevity due to shitty materials.

Without looking is that one of those pages that has like Eminem, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johanson, Robert DeNiro, and then Eddie Murphy as the free bingo space?
